Registration and Advising FAQs

Registration FAQ

 
When can I register?

Advance Registration for Fall courses occurs in April. Advance Registration for Spring and Summer terms occurs in November. Advance Registration opening dates may be found in the detailed version of the TTU Academic Calendar, but specific dates are scheduled based on student status and/or earned hours.

Click on the Registration Status link located on the MyTech tab in Raiderlink under Manage My Enrollment > Registration to view the specific date Advance Registration will be open to you. This status is typically updated the month prior to Advance Registration. Classifications are based on credit hours, not semesters completed. For more information, visit Advance Registration.

 

Why am I receiving a ‘Prerequisite & test score’ error message when trying to register?

You probably haven’t taken the prerequisite for the course. Course descriptions (including prerequisite information) can be accessed by visiting the Course Despcriptions page. 

 

I’m receiving a ‘Class Restricted’ error message when trying to register. What does that mean?

This usually means that the section is restricted to a specific classification (freshmen, sophomores, etc.). Try registering for a different section.

Raiderlink won’t allow me to drop my Summer class. How can this be resolved?

As long as you’re within the drop period, don’t have any active holds on your account, and aren’t planning on dropping all of your classes at once, you can drop a course via Raiderlink.

• Raiderlink > TTU MyTech > Registration > Add or Drop Classes.
  Under the Action tab, select Drop – Delete on Web, and hit Submit.

If you are needing to drop all classes in a specific semester, you will need to complete a withdrawal request via your student dashboard in Raiderlink.
